Chapter 139: Battle of Wakli 6
"So what? Isn't it? Yun Haoyu's voice was still calm, but he unconsciously brought a hint of coldness.
What exactly are they trying to say? What should they do if they threaten each other with the secret they know and offer some unacceptable conditions? Yun Haoyu was thinking about it quickly, and his eyes gradually became cold.
Before Hu Mu could speak, Red interjected on the side: "Yes or no, it doesn't matter." We ask this just out of curiosity, and if you don't think it's convenient to answer, Commander, then we didn't say it! ”
Hu Mu clenched his fists, and then released it again, like this a few times, as if he was struggling with a difficult choice, and finally he finally made up his mind! He said, "The main purpose of our coming today is to ......."
"Swear allegiance to Your Excellency!"
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, even Yun Haoyu was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to come back to his senses!
He had already envisioned many possibilities in advance, and since the last time he returned from Fimont, he knew that the other party was already suspicious and would come and talk to him sooner or later. Even if the other party doesn't come, he will find the door himself. But he never thought that the other party would make such a decision!
"Think it's weird?" Looking at the surprised look of the head of the regiment, Hu Mu sighed and continued:
"We do this for a reason! Too many people have died since the outbreak of this damned war! As a member of the Imperial Adeptus legion, the elite of the elite! How have we ever experienced such heavy casualties? But now, in order to deal with that group of deadly devils, we have to rush to the front line, being consumed mercilessly like the cheapest cannon fodder! ”
"Commander, you also know, it's only been a few days since the war started, how many casualties have been suffered among our brothers in the legion? There are only three of my brothers from the regiment who are still alive now! And we who survived by luck are also dancing on the tip of the knife of death, worrying at any time, not knowing if we can see the sun tomorrow! ”
"Last time we were in Fimont, we thought we were dead! But it is precisely because of your existence, Commander, and with the endless array of powerful equipment in your hands, that we have the opportunity to stand here and talk to you today! ”
"You have saved our lives, and we have nothing to repay, so we will sell this life to you! We are willing to pledge our allegiance to you and become your retainer, and all future actions will be in the interests of the head of the family! ”
"We are willing to swear allegiance to Your Excellency, and in the future, we will advance and retreat together with the head of the family, and swear to defend the interests of the head of the family to the death!" Red and the other four also said in unison.
"Do you think that the current me is worthy of your life?" After thinking for a long time, Yun Haoyu said slowly. "Now I'm just a powerless lieutenant colonel, and my strength is not too strong, and your current status is not much lower than mine! With your conditions, you also need at least one Saint Rank, or a descendant of a big family, to be worthy of this, right? ”
"The status is not high now, it doesn't mean that it will always be like this! With Your Excellency's strength and the hole cards in your hand, it is easy to rise all the way, and it may not be long before your name is followed by a general! Hu Mu said eloquently, "Whether you are from that family or not, we only know that Your Excellency is not a ruthless person and will not deliberately sacrifice us, and that is enough!" ”
"Are you so sure?" Yun Haoyu smiled.
"Of course you can be sure, otherwise last time, you wouldn't have risked revealing your secrets to save a few of us!" Red said solemnly.
Yun Haoyu gently closed his eyes and pondered.
The men had apparently discussed it in advance and had reached an agreement before coming to him. He considered every possible reaction and even thought about how to convince him of the wording.
Accept? Still not acceptable?
All of a sudden, there are six more elite abilities as retainers, which seems to be very good, but in fact it is not that simple. According to the tradition of the empire, after a retainer swears allegiance to the head of the family, his own life and honor are inseparable from the head of the family, and all actions must be based on defending the interests of the head of the family! And as the head of the family, it is the duty to protect the retainers, to provide them with a material life in line with their values, power, money, etc.!
The specific terms are explained in detail in the legal code of the empire, as well as various conventions and unspoken rules, which will not be clear for a while, anyway, it is roughly like this!
As far as he is concerned, accepting a retainer is not a wise decision, the benefits are not much, but the troubles are incalculable!
He has already understood the other party's thoughts, and it is nothing more than to protect himself. I don't know how long the tragic war will last, and no one can guarantee that they will survive until after the war! Finding a backer to give their lives more protection has become their natural choice!
Last time, because of my soft heart, I saved them once. But there is no guarantee that he will help them every time, if they become his retainers, then as the head of the family, it is impossible to ignore their safety! But where there is a glimmer of hope, they will be pulled!
Although his strength is not too strong, with those equipment, it is still no problem to save his life. As long as the safety is guaranteed, it is not impossible to accumulate military merits and rise all the way! That's what they really think.
Yun Haoyu closed his eyes and was silent. The six of them looked at him nervously, waiting for his decision.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke: "I can understand that you made such a decision in order to protect yourself!" I am also willing to do my best to provide you with the necessary protection on the battlefield, but I want to know, how sincere are you to me as the head of the family? ”
"We can sign a written contract," Hu Mu said immediately, "this kind of document is recognized by the Imperial Code!" Once signed, such contracts are valid for life unless the head of the family wishes to do so! Don't worry about us having a different mind! ”
"That's a good idea, and so it should be! It's just," Yun Haoyu frowned and said, "I'm a powerless school official, if I suddenly have six more elite abilities as retainers, spread it out, and don't attract the attention of people with good intentions!" Moreover, this is not good for you either, according to the laws of the Empire, active military personnel are not allowed to become retainers of others! ”
The people of the Yun family came to recruit him, in the name of letting him return to the family, although in fact there was no difference from the retainers, but after all, he had the status of a close branch, and this kind of solicitation was also carried out privately, so he could play a sideshow on this issue.
"We can sign a written contract first, but not notarized by the relevant authorities first!" Red said, "Wait until the time is right, and then make the contract public!" And you don't have to worry about us going back at all! ”
"How?"
"Your Excellency, when I first met you, you were a sixth-order cultivator, right? But in just a few months, you'll be on the eighth tier! If I'm not mistaken, you must be trying to protect yourself, so you don't hesitate to forcibly improve your strength with a lot of cherished resources! It can also be deduced that your genes are exceptionally good, so you don't have to worry about the consequences of doing so! ”
"Since you have such excellent qualifications, it shouldn't be difficult to advance to the Holy Rank, it's just a matter of time! Do you think we will regret a future Holy Order? ”
This is indeed reasonable, Yun Haoyu pondered for a while, and finally spoke: "Okay! You've convinced me! ”
"You promised?"
"Of course! You should have the paperwork ready? Take it out and show me! He smiled.
He guessed correctly, and the six of them immediately took out a paper contract and signed their names on it!
In the interstellar era, the vast majority of information carriers are optical brains and various large-capacity chips, but for some particularly important documents, human beings still prefer this kind of black and white things!
He looked at it carefully and signed his name on it. The title of the monarch is established! Originally, if it was carried out in public, a solemn and grand ceremony would be held, witnessed by senior lawyers, and some figures with heads and faces would be invited to watch the ceremony! It's just that now the situation is special, and everything is simple!
The six are Hu Mu, Red Franck, Zhao Qingyang, Liu Delin, Wu Hongbin, and Qi Wei. Among them, Hu Mu is an eighth-order ability, Lei De and Zhao Qingyang are sixth-order, and the remaining three are all fifth-order.
"Alright! The name has been decided, so you guys should follow me when you go to battle in the future! As long as I don't die, I can always protect you! Yun Haoyu said, "As for what you should do, I don't need to say more, just understand it yourself!" ”
"Do as the head of the house commands!" The six of them responded in unison.
At this moment, the closed door of the cultivation room opened again, and Luo Qiyue rushed in like a whirlwind.
As soon as she saw Yun Haoyu, she showed a genuine smile on her face, and said softly: "So you are here!" Make it easy for me to find! ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" Yun Haoyu quietly put away the paperwork and asked with a smile.
"Follow me!" She was a little shy, but she took his hand and pulled him out the door. I didn't even look at the six men the whole time.
A few of the guys who had been left to the side glanced at each other, and a smile appeared on their faces that only a man could understand.
